\n<\/span>De inviterede officielt Patientforeningen for bivirkningsramte som h\u00f8ringspart. Vi svarede med 13 siders h\u00f8ringssvar + en ny unders\u00f8gelse med 65 danskere, der stadig er syge efter vaccinen (juni 2025). Unders\u00f8gelse viste blandt andet:
\n\u2022 84,6 % blev syge inden for den f\u00f8rste uge efter stikket
\n\u2022 38 % samme dag
\n\u2022 Gennemsnitlig sygdomsvarighed: 1.388 dage (n\u00e6sten 4 \u00e5r)
\n\u2022 100 % er stadig ikke raske
\n\u2022 70 % indberettede selv bivirkningerne \u2013 kun 30 % fik l\u00e6gen til at g\u00f8re det
\n\u2022 62 % har f\u00e5et afslag p\u00e5 erstatning
\n\u2022 62 % betaler selv for privat behandling, fordi det offentlige har lukket d\u00f8ren.<\/p>\nHvad g\u00f8r Sundhedsstyrelsen i den endelige MTV? De n\u00e6vner os med \u00e9n enkelt s\u00e6tning:

Ingen opf\u00f8lgning, ingen ny side, ingen reference, ingen tal, ingen unders\u00f8gelse og ingen anerkendelse af de 65 danskere, der har v\u00e6ret syge i fire \u00e5r, eller alle de bivirkningsramte der ikke deltog i unders\u00f8gelsen.<\/p>\n
De har bogstaveligt talt slettet de bivirkningsramte fra den officielle vurdering af vaccinesikkerheden \u2013 i en rapport, der alts\u00e5 netop skulle vurdere sikkerheden.
\nSundhedsstyrelsen har officielt skrevet 126 sider om vaccinesikkerhed \u2013 uden at n\u00e6vne de syge med et eneste ord.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The Danish Health Authority has in their draft<\/u><\/a> to the MTV, it has been shown that they do not intend to help citizens who are affected after Covid-19 vaccination. Citizens' experiences and needs are largely absent from the assessment. The draft is based on citizens aged 65+. Other groups \u2013 including younger citizens and people with side effects or long-term health problems after vaccination \u2013 appear in the draft as secondary and are therefore overlooked. The MTV is neither representative nor comprehensive in relation to the entire population's experiences with Covid-19 vaccination.<\/p>\nWe would therefore once again - and based on the data from the questionnaire survey, as well as the remaining attached annexes - strongly urge the health authorities to initiate the investigation and treatment of these patients, who are in an urgent health situation.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>In connection with the preparation of the consultation response, the association has asked the citizens affected by the side effects about their current situation. 65 patients completed the questionnaire in the period 6-16 June 2025. Their responses provide insight into the situation of those affected by the side effects and reflect the problems that the rest of the patient group also experiences. It is clear that these are not mild and transient symptoms among the study participants.
The study also points to a significant underreporting of side effects, which weakens the professional basis for assessments such as those in the Danish Health Authority's HTA. It is therefore necessary that the situation of this patient group is systematically included in this assessment, as well as future assessments and decisions about Covid-19 vaccination.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Questionnaire survey<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>![\"http:\/\/bivc19vac.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Sporgeskemaundersogelse-om-bivirkninger-og-behov-for-behandling-Juni-2025.pdf\"](\"http:\/\/bivc19vac.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Spoergeskemaundersoegelse.png\")

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>The email correspondence between the Covid Vaccine Injury Alliance Netherlands and the EMA documents that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) refuses to recognize post-vaccination syndrome (PVS) as a separate medical diagnosis, and thus also refuses to support an official ICD coding (diagnostic classification via WHO). The EMA refuses this despite the fact that thousands of patients in the EU report long-term symptoms after COVID-19 vaccination and that patient organizations have repeatedly requested official recognition in order to access treatment and compensation. <\/span>This rejection has implications for:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Lack of recognition and diagnosis at the national level \u2013 also in Denmark.<\/span><\/li>\n
- The systemic invisibility of those affected by side effects in both healthcare systems and authorities' assessments.
\n<\/span><\/li>\n- D<\/span>a professional basis that national authorities use in their assessments, as in this case with the HTA from the Danish Health Authority. This entails a risk that relevant patient groups and symptom patterns are omitted because they are not found in official registers or recognized by international bodies.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The appendix thus emphasizes why it is necessary to include patient data, questionnaire surveys and experiences from patient associations in the HTA \u2013 as the authorities otherwise rely solely on institutions that currently deny the existence of PVS.<\/span><\/p>\nEMA is aware of the serious and long-term side effects with chronic sequelae of Covid-19 vaccination. It is EMA that continuously creates product summaries for these experimental vaccines, valid for the entire EU. EMA therefore refuses to create an ICD code for those citizens who experience these serious long-term side effects, which according to their own product summaries exist. If EMA believes that everyone who experiences serious long-term side effects and organ damage is cured, EMA should document that claim. Their rejection of the Dutch inquiry therefore casts doubt on EMA's professionalism and credibility as an authority. All medical products can cause serious, long-term and chronic side effects. The fact that the EMA maintains that the Covid-19 vaccines are the first product in history that does not have these long-term serious side effects is evidence of a lack of scientific approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Correspondence Part 1<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>![\"http:\/\/bivc19vac.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/EMA-Holland-1.-del.pdf\"](\"http:\/\/bivc19vac.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Korrespondance-1.-del.png\")
